As nice as all this sounded, the accompanying images were seemingly (and hilariously!) taken with the camera on the fisheye setting (Walleye Vision!)

Flashback!

Whooooaaaaa... careful, don't fall onto the grill...

Now TOWN is the broker, and the apartments have just been relisted... and they are (slightly) reduced. Here are the two prime rentals via TOWN:

• Penthouse #5R, renting for $9,900/month, is a 3 bed, 3 bath and features a private terrace, as well as a private roof deck. The space includes a large living room, gourmet chef's kitchen with a breakfast bar and in-unit washer/dryer, with access to a private terrace. The upper level offers a second living room and access to a private roof deck. Reclaimed oak wood flooring throughout, with American slate floors in the kitchen and bathrooms.

• Garden #1R, on the market for $10,000/month, has 3 beds and 1.5 baths and features a private, three-level, 860-square-foot Zen garden, an open chef’s kitchen and dining room with southern exposures overlooking the garden. The garden-level apartment features a flex living room with stone floors, an in-unit washer and dryer and access to the garden.

And the accompanying photos (these are the garden apartment) are no longer wonky.

I'm wondering who are going to rent these. Paying $3,300 each seems a bit high for the college crowd. A rich family with kids maybe? At any rate, it seems a lot to pay when it looks like there's only enough room for a love seat and not a full-size couch.

I live right next to this building and I do...not...understand how they are charging this much rent. They've been done building it for about a year now and I only noticed last week that one apt. was occupied. I'm not sure what type of tenant they are trying to acquire. Most people who can afford $3,000+ plus a month aren't interested in living on 5th Street in a building with no doorman.
